Jiang Miao handed the package to Xu Zilan, "I need to ask Madam Xu to help send the food for my husband and Master Xu."
"No trouble, the Xu family has to go to the capital to deliver goods anyway."
The Xu family is in the timber business and has its own furniture shop in the capital. After processing the wood in Furong Town, it will be sent to the capital. It is a matter of course that they send things to Jiang Miao.
"Yeah," Xu Zilan didn't take it seriously, but Jiang Miao was still grateful. After all, she had to trouble them every time.
"This is the glutinous rice dumplings I made. Madam Xu, please try it." Jiang Miao took out a small box with several white and fat glutinous rice dumplings in it.
"What is Nuomi Ci?" Xu Zilan asked curiously. The snacks made by Mrs. Jiang are always exquisite and novel.
"It's a snack made of glutinous rice, with fillings of different flavors inside. I made sesame peanut, matcha and bean paste flavors. Madam, let's see if they suit your taste."
The plump and round glutinous rice dumplings are soft and elastic in the hand. When you take a bite, the fillings inside burst out. They are sweet, soft, glutinous and elastic. Xu Zilan fell in love with them immediately.
"tasty!"
She ate two in a row and stopped when her stomach felt a little full. Xu Zilan touched her stomach and looked at the remaining items in the box with a somewhat regretful look. Jiang Miao chuckled.
"Glutinous rice is difficult to digest. Madam Xu, don't eat too much at a time to avoid stomach upset."
"Okay," Xu Zilan nodded slightly and told Caiyun to put the box away, "send it to mother to try."
"Yes, madam."
Beijing
Both Shen Yanqing and Xu Ziwen passed the exams at Shengjing Academy. Because Shen Yanqing accepted Mr. Wei as his teacher, although the gentlemen in the academy were envious of his talent, they did not dare to compete with Mr. Wei. After all, he was the emperor's teacher.
Xu Zi's literary skills were not as good as Shen Yanqing's, and he barely managed to get in. He didn't expect to be a disciple of a famous teacher, he just hoped to learn something in the academy.
Shengjing Academy provides board and lodging, and monthly repairs cost ten taels of silver. Families who can afford to study are not short of money, not to mention that the capital is full of wealthy families. Any student from the academy may be a
The son of a high official.
Shen Yanqing, who topped the provincial examination, and Xu Ziwen, the son of the richest man in Furong Town, were ignored by everyone in the capital. No one paid attention to these two minions, and Shen Yanqing didn't care either. He himself didn't like to receive too much attention.
.
The two moved their luggage in. The dormitory of Shengjing Academy was also for two people. According to the ranking, Shen Yanqing's temporary bed was empty. It was obvious that no one was living there. Xu Ziwen sat down on the bed with a look of envy on his face.
said.
"You are the only one who lives in this house, otherwise I will move in with you. Anyway, we have been sleeping in the same bed for two years, and we are still a little uncomfortable being separated for the first time."
Shen Yanqing glanced at him with disgust, opened her thin lips and said, "No need."
He is very used to being alone.
Xu Ziwen screamed and leaned back, looking as if he was heartbroken and hurt. He was just talking casually. After all, there were academy rules and they couldn't change dormitories at will, but Shen Yanqing's attitude still hurt him.
"Humph, since you dislike me, then don't want the package from my sister-in-law!"
His eyes were smug, and sure enough, Shen Yanqing froze. Annoyance flashed across his eyes, "Bring it here!"
"Please beg me!" Xu Ziwen consciously grasped his weak spot, and his whole body was squirming.
"Heh," Shen Yanqing sneered, "You don't want the real questions from previous years' exams?"
"I want it, Brother Shen, I was wrong. I'll give you the package. Please lend me the real questions!"
Xu Ziwen jumped up from the bed. He knew how to test the real questions. He couldn't get it even if he didn't have any connections.
The thing in Shen Yanqing's hand must have been given to him by Mr. Wei, and as Mr. Wei was the emperor's teacher, he must have a clear idea of the emperor's preferences. Xu Ziwen was anxious and wanted to see the test questions as soon as possible.
Based on his qualifications, he would not be able to gain fame by studying hard. He must have a famous teacher to "open a small stove".
"Brother Shen..." Xu Ziwen delivered the package and rubbed his hands in a flattering manner. Shen Yanqing did not continue to embarrass him and handed over the test paper.
"Thank you, thank you!" Xu Ziwen took it cherishedly. Shen Yanqing was his reborn parent.
Shen Yanqing didn't know what he was thinking. He was currently thinking about the things Jiang Miao sent. Xu Ziwen hadn't had time to open the package yet. He didn't know that Jiang Miao had sent him food, so when Shen Yanqing saw it, it was bigger than his. After loading twice as many packages, my face turned blue.
His thin lips were pursed tightly, his whole body was exuding depression, his face was as pale as paper, and he was just holding the package in his hand.
Why did Miao Ya send so many things to Brother Xu? Did she fall in love with someone else?
Shen Yanqing's heart was in a mess. He was originally worried about Jiang Miao leaving, but now his heart was racing and he wanted to fly back to Shen's house to ask for details.
Xu Ziwen didn't hear any movement for a long time. When he looked over, Shen Yanqing's eyes were blood red. Xu Ziwen was startled.
"Brother Shen, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with what your sister-in-law sent?" That shouldn't be the case. Jiang Miao's food is so delicious. If Shen Yanqing still dislikes it, it would be a bit ungrateful.
"You and her..." Shen Yan cleared his throat and couldn't say anything because his throat was dry. He knew he shouldn't doubt Jiang Miao, but the despicable feeling in his heart made him breathless.
Xu Ziwen next to him didn't hear clearly, his eyes had long been attracted by the contents of the package.
"Wow! My sister-in-law sent me so much food!" He rushed over, opened the package happily, took out a package of duck necks and gnawed on it.
"What is this? It's so spicy and delicious. Brother Shen, try it!"
Shen Yanqing didn't answer, his phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed and he couldn't see his emotions clearly. Xu Ziwen didn't care either. He just focused on eating now. After he tasted everything, he lay on the bed with a full burp and said with satisfaction.
"My sister-in-law is so sincere. I only paid ten taels of silver and she cooked so much food for me, so I'm not afraid of losing money."
"Pay...money?" Shen Yanqing suddenly raised his head, his voice was hoarse, and Xu Ziwen had an expression on his face that said, "You are making such a fuss."
"Yes, if you don't help me make peace, I can only find connections to buy it myself. Fortunately, young master, I'm smart, so I can eat as much as I want!" He crossed his legs and snarled, although Shen Yanqing relaxed. He took a breath, but he still looked at him in various ways.
"Go back to your room!"
"Hey, my butt is not even hot yet, why don't you drive me away!"
Xu Ziwen was holding the food in his arms and was kicked out with a depressed look on his face. He wanted to say something to Shen Yanqing, but when he turned around, he was almost slapped in the face by the door.
"Forget it, I have a lot of them, so I won't argue with you!"
